Allez en paix Gilles, Rest in Peace

Pace got the news this morngin that at 63, her dad, Gilles, died at 8:30 on Saturday, November 11 . He'd been fighting throat cancer that had spread to the lungs and brain; for the last month he's been in palative care.

When I told my new contact at my biggest client he asked me "what are you doing here, go home and be with your wife." Thanks Rick. Pace appreciated it.

Pace is taking it well. She finds it ironic that he died of cancer on Remberence Day; a year to the day from her Breast Cancer diagnosis. However, she feels that he took her cancer with him when he went to heaven.

Allez en paix Gilles! May your glass be ever full, May the roof over your head be always strong, And may you be in heaven Half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
